Kenkel I BYW {2% y ATTORNEY withtho cam portion 28, and the opposite end ofthelever is acted on by .the trough 12 of the member 11 when the latter israised in the toothpick dispensingoperation. The end of the lever 30which coacts with the cam portion 28 has limited downward movement. Ascrew 31 adjustable in a lug 32- carried by the wall Qllimits thedownward movement of the end of the lever 30 which coacts with said camportion 28. The said endof thelever30 is heavier than the oppositee'n'chand thereforehasa normal tendency tofrest on the screw 31 From theforegoing it will be understood,

that rwhen the" member 11-. is manipulated by pulling upwardly on theendfll, the trough ll will bear down on the related end of the lever30.1 As a consequence the opposi te end of the lever :30 will coact.with the cam portion 28, causing; the pendulum 26 to move toward themember 23, and as a result, the pin 29 will bear on the member 23'causing the latter to flex to a position indicatedindotted lines ,in Fig. 4:. When the member 11 is released, .it will drop to its normalposition, shown in full lines in continue to vibrate thereby causing theobject- 2:2 to move alternately inopposite directions, Each time thedelivery member 11 is manipulated, the object 22w-ill be caused to movein a similjarjmanner, therefore a1},

ways attracting a persons attention }to the advertising matter -a)pearing on the face portions of theplat'e 17. The value of thedispensingmachine to which the device of the present invention isattached, will be enhanced, as 1t will serve not only for CllS- pensingthe goods w thmthe same but. Wlll also serve as an advertisingmedium Itis to 'be understood that the invention isnotrestricted to the precisearrangement of 'parts'shown and described, as details, of

construction may be modified and rear rangedwithout departing fromthespirit of the invention, the .scopel'of whichis limited only by thetermslof the appended claims.

I claim: I 1. An advertising device compris nga cas ing having a facefor, advertising matter,

3 in response to the a flexible member secured at one endto said casing,and object at the" free end of the flexible member adjacentsaid face,said object movable with the flexible member when thegla'tter =isiflexed to attract attention to said face, the object being movedalternately in opposite directions when the flex-- ible member isflexed, and means for flexing said flexible member.

2. The combinationwith a dispensing machine including a manipulator; of.a casing having a face for advertising matter, an

element arranged adjacent said face to be freely oscillated to attractattention thereto; and means'between said nanipulatorand element causingthe oscillation of said element manipulation of the manipulator.

3. The combinationwitha dispensing machine including a lever; of acasing-having a face for, advertising matter, an element arrangedadjacent said face to be freely oscillated to attract attention thereto,and

means'between said lever and element causing the oscillation of saidelement in response to the manipulationof the lever.

fl. The-combination with a dispensing ma chine including a manipulator;of a plate adaptedto carry,anadvertisement, aflexiblc member fixed atone end "having anobject on-its free end, said objectbemg movable withthe flexible member when the latter is flexedto attract attentionto saidplate, said object being movable adjacent an opening in said'plate, andmeans between the manipulatorand the flexible member causing theflexible member to flexin response to the manipulation of themanipulator, said flexible member being a dapted to react in consequenceof thejinitial'flexingto cause the object carried by the flexible;member to move alternately in opposite directions.

5. The combination with a dispensing machine, of a plate having anopening, ameniberfixed at one end and adapted to vibrate and having .anobject n thereon, said obj ectdisposed adjacent the opening in the plateadapted to carryadvertising.matter, and meansincluding a deliverymembervof the machine operable'to cause thevibration of said membertocansethe object carried thereby to 7 move alternately in oppositedirections.
